There is alot of goats by Whitehall. Tons of public land to hunt. Take a look on the map. I grew up in that area.
Hunt em, Kill em, Eat em. Do not hunt em if you aren't going to eat em.

I was drawn for the 600 unit a couple yrs ago.  I grew up there and wanted to hunt the home place and it took 4 yrs to get drawn.  I had access to some private ground, but there is plenty of block management ground available...and plent of goats too.  Not sure which unit I am gonna apply for this yr...maybe somewhere else
It never changes, but it is always different.

My sister, my brother in law and I are putting in again this year (we didn't draw last year).  They have a buddy that lives in region 4 that says he can show us some places, but the draw odds are better puttin' in for 700, so we have a little bit of a dilemma.  Not sure what we're going to put in for yet... :dunno:

Check the success rates.. 400's can be hit and miss.  600s and 700s are high success.  That's a long haul and lot's of dough for an 'iffy' unit in my opinion.

They sure dropped the tag numbers in some of the 400 units. I hunted unit 481 in 2008 and there was 1200 tags last year there was 400 tags. The antelope numbers are down but they are still out there.

I was north of Cutbank last weekend and saw a little herd of 10.  I can't wait for hunting season!

Good point.  My sister is going to talk to the guy she knows again.  If he doesn't have a "sure thing" lined up, we'll probably do the 700s.  I think it may have been the 2008/2009 winterkill.  Lots of deer hunters in the 400s last fall were not happy campers...

Path- noticed you drew deer combo too - would you go over twice or make a combo hunt earlier in november?  ...been wondering what I would do If I drew both deer and 'lopes in MT...
